The Best Gifts for Foodies

The Brooklyn Brew Shop Sparkling Rosé Kit ($70 from Brooklyn Brew Shop), is home-brewing made simple. You get a fun boozy food-science lesson. Plus, the reward of five delicious bottles of bubbly is a win-win! —Christine Gilkey, test kitchen intern

What are the holidays without sweets? Fill an OXO Good Grips Pop Medium Jar ($20 from Amazon), with treats from Cookies for Kids’ Cancer ($30), and you’ll give a great gift for a great cause.

I assumed that floppy chicken skin was the price you paid for cooking a bird in a pressure cooker. And then I met the Ninja Foodi ($200 from Ninja Kitchen), which pressure-cooks and crisps, making my poultry dreams come true. —Nina Elder, executive food editor

Spread holiday cheers with Absolut Limited Edition Sequin Bottles ($25 for a 750-milliliter bottle on reservebar.com). Grapefruit comes sheathed in sparkly pink; lime is dressed in festive green; and the O.G. Absolut shows up in silver.

Along with jojoba beads to soften the skin, this multitasking Jack Black Charcoal Body Bar Massaging Soap ($15 for 4.75 ounces from Amazon), contains activated charcoal that can neutralize pungent kitchen smells like minced garlic or chopped onion. 

The acacia wood and tidy structure of Rachael Ray’s 3-Tier Stacking Salt Boxes ($19 from Amazon), mean they’ll stand at the ready on your counter or in the cupboard—and look great doing it. 

I love the versatility of the Coffee House by Chef’n 3-in-1 Coffee Brewer ($74 from Amazon). It makes French press, pour-over, or cold-brew coffee. —Tara Holland, food editorial assistant  

Origami napkins aren’t just for dinner cruises. The colorful MOMA Fold-by-Number Napkins ($42 for a set of six from MOMA), will make a high-design impact on any table. 

Perfect for the host with the most, the West Elm Marble & Copper Footed Cheese Board ($39 from West Elm), gives your usual charcuterie platter a literal leg up.

The Joule Sous Vide by Chef Steps ($179 from Amazon), takes the guesswork out of the sous vide technique, so you can make restaurant-quality eggs and perfect steaks with absolute precision. It’s operated with a user-friendly app, which effectively turns your phone into your sous chef! —Alexa Weibel, senior food editor

A collab between chef-gear maker Hedley & Bennett and Vans, the SK8-HI Reissue UC Kicks ($85 from Vans), will appeal to hipster cooks and skaters alike. 

Have an amateur mixologist in the family? With the Mako Ice Bag & Mallet ($20), they’ll be crushing cubes for all those juleps and Moscow mules like a pro. 

Form meets function in the multipurpose Criss Cross Bracelet Bottle Opener ($16 from Amazon), a great stocking stuffer for your beer-loving BFF.

Perfect for your favorite tailgater, vacuumsealed Orca Coolers ($190 for 20-quart size, $270 for 40-quart from Orca Coole), keep beers chilly even in peak heat and come in fresh-for-2018 colors like Blaze Orange and Seafoam.
